I killed someone by accident in the system I was bounty hunting and need to progress in combat ranking

Not sure of high intensity zones, but a few Python ships would come out every now and then as if it were 1.2, when I followed Microdia to a regular RES. Just need to have a KWS to scan their bounties though; this is currently an anarchy zone, hence the pilot crime stat is left at lawless. While I didn't notice the NPC ranks, Microdia has confirmed that the place can also spawn >Dangerous-ranked NPCs.

There are also multiple conflict zones in the surrounding systems, in case that's your cup of tea as well.

According to a lot of player testing most Hi-int RES are broken ship spawn wise, and I myself have confirmed this. Rarely get higher than a viper in a high. But the second I set foot in a regular RES in this system I start getting dropships, pythons etc. The faction you'll be looking to kill will be the Blue Brotherhood. They always have bounties, and they're the faction we're looking to kick out anyway. Like he said, bring a KWS as it's an anarchy system right now and they wont show up without one.

It seems that overnight the 93377 Exchange gained a lot of influence as well, which is also a corporate federation faction. So I will leave the choice up to you all if you want to work with the Democrats, or the Exchange, as both are decent governments to have in this system. It may actually be better for miners if the exchange takes over, but either one of the two is a very viable choice for this system. Personally I'm going to be doing every mission I can get at all 3 stations for both of the Federation factions, and whichever one of the two gets the influence first will be the one I back in the civil war once it breaks out.

See you all there!

There were no interesting missions at Kooi Gateway (Only there I can dock my conda) so I went to the nearby Hi Res and destroyed everything I could find 1 Python 3 Clippers a Type 9 a Type 7 a couple of couriers and loads of Cobras, Vipers, Adders and Sidewinders. 500K and 3% towards Dangerous in 30 mins.

Avoid the high-res for now, they're broken according to player testing. Normal RES have much higher spawns than any other type currently and that's where I always get the large spawns and the big payouts. Low are still low, but high, are broken. So stick to normals until it's fixed.

for when the Anaconda is too unwieldy - i bought a Vulture in Lakurbal, and the second system along sells the A grade FSD (you only have one route out of Lakurbal, so it's hard to miss) then outfitted the rest in Jonai. i might also build a fast unarmed Cobra as a mission runner, but as pargyrak says there wasn't much interesting stuff on the BB last night

was trying concentrate on killing Blue Brotherhood ships but may have caught one or two of the other factions too, who were acting piratey

Yeah here being lawless system just about every faction gets a little fiesty in the RES. I have never had an issue finding missions if I hit all three stations. The last outpost in the system is actually owned by the democrats too. The system has the main station and two outposts. Ample supply of missions. Been some good money making missions too as of late. Me and a friend also took two type 6's out mining for about 30 mins and made 300-500k each with only having 60ish tons of cargo space, so that's also a damn good option. The rocks in that metallic ring are insanely good, even found a few 45%+ painite rocks, and I love it's only like 7ls from the main station, which also buys the metals for high end market prices.

if the system flips, who owns the main station - Blue Brotherhood still?

i'm a little concerned that the only place i can dock and store my ships is owned by the same guys i'm killing.
